Panthers coach Matt Rhule shared a devastating update on the status of quarterback Matt Corral following the rookie’s early exit in Friday’s preseason matchup against the Patriots.
Rhule told reporters Saturday that Corral, 23, tore the Lisfranc ligament in his left foot and will be sidelined indefinitely. Rhule labeled the injury as “significant” before noting the team is “exploring the possibilities and options with the best doctors across the country” at this time.
The Athletic’s Joe Person and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that it’s “likely” season-ending..
Corral, a third-round pick in this year’s draft, underwent X-rays after limping off the field during the team’s second series of the fourth quarter.
